The two ingredients in the product are a volcanic ash mineral called Zeolite and distilled water. Zeolite is not a new substance, it has been around, used and documented for hundreds of years in Asia. For example, 2 tons of it were dumped around the Chernobyl disaster site to soak up the toxic waste. However, what is new is the process in which this particular zeolite is manufactured. There are many published studies on zeolite in a micronized powdered form, however, NCD is a liquid form and currently only a few studies have concluded and are being written up for publication, others are actively in process.
One such recently completed preliminary 14-month open label study, by Harve Kaufman PhD and Life Link Pharmaceuticals, was carried out with 65 Stage Four cancer patients, they were all deemed untreatable by Western medicine and sent home to die, most were given less than six weeks to live. Fourteen months later, in December 2005, 51 of the patients (or 78%) were still alive and have experienced complete remission (complete disappearance of the cancer). It appears to be effective for all forms of cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma.
The molecular structure of the zeolite is described as honeycomb-like and pretty much invincible, to release the locked in toxins from it you need to heat it to 900 degrees for 5 hours. The mineral is ingested orally or applied topically to the skin and very quickly enters the bloodstream. It is negatively charged and therefore has a high affinity for heavy metals and other toxins and carcinogens. When they come in contact with the zeolite they enter into these cage like structures and get locked in, they can then only be released through the above mentioned method. This allows the toxins to be released through the urine and have a zero toxic effect in the elimination process from the body.
This is not a cancer fighting product, however, when the negatively charged product enters the body it has a natural high affinity to positively charged metals and carcinogens, when the cages become full of toxins the zeolite takes on slight positive charge, attracting itself to the negatively charged cancer cells. Test results have shown that when it comes in contact with the cancer cells it somehow turns on the p21 and p27 tumor suppressor genes sending the cancer cells and only the cancer cells into a state of apoptosis.

For a data base of the research please do a PubMed search for zeolite/clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite is the specific zeolite used in Natural Cellular Defense
